My old V/SA nova I got the 1/4's & L/H fender from Harmon's the fender was perfect but the 1/4's needed some "work"....scratch that the 1/4's came from Mid-West fender. I got the fender & bumpers from Harmon's & they all were top notch!

Go to Steve's Nova Site for the right product and experience on who makes the best fitting product.

Dave, call OPG and get the full qrtrs from there. The patch panels and partial pieces leave alot to be desired, but, the fulls fit perfectly.

Harmons quarter panels have a quality fit. Used them on my 70 Nova

The Goodmark brand stuff is GM licensed but I have had to modify the crap out of their 'factory fit' panels. A litlle known fact is that the Goodmark and Dynacorn panels are all made at the same place in China, I have bought Dynacorn stuff with their decal on one side and the Goodmark decal on the other side. Dont expect that any replacement panel will just fall into place, a lot of cutting and fitting will be needed no matter where you get your pieces from.

The Paddock is going out of business and you might want to contact them before they completely closed the doors.
